    1 ABSTRACT

    This project demonstrates how a direct-sequence spread spectrum

    (DSSS) transceiver works under the influence of an Additive White

    Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel. The DSSS system is designed so

    that the signal is varied along with the Pseudo-random Noise (PN)

    sequence and modulated with Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK).

    Receiver system is also is designed to get back the original signal

    using error correction and BPSK demodulation. The fundamental

    components of the DSSS as well as its intermediate signals and their

    interaction are made visible in this presentation, which thus serves

    as a superior learning/visualization tool.

    1. INTRODUCTION

    The spread spectrum concept originated in the period from 1920 to

    1960, which led to the development of spread-spectrum

    communication systems (IEEE Trans Communication 1982, 882).

    During those times the communication was done using techniques

    like FDMA and TDMA, which are vulnerable to attack. The bandwidth

    needed is also high for these legacy systems, which was not a

    major issue in the military. But those methods were highly insecure

    in terms of confidentiality. The spread spectrum technique was

    introduced in the 1920s, which brought a drastic change in the

    communication world. These spread spectrumsystems were used

    mainly for the military purpose so that signal can be sent securely

    without jamming. The main advantage of this technique is that

    spread signal appears like a random noise, which is difficult to

    demodulate by anybody other than the authorized receiver. During

    that time, lot of research was going to change the wired telephone

    systems to wireless, resulting in major breakthroughs in the

    communication world. All these techniques were applied in wireless

    technology that changed the face of the corporate world.

    There are two types of spread spectrum techniques that are used

    widely: Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Frequency

  • 7/28/2019 Demonstration of Spread Spectrum Communication through Mathematical Simulation

    6/52

    Karthik-6

    Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technique. Spread Spectrum

    systems have found their use in the corporate world primarily for

    wireless digital communication. Code division multiple access

    (CDMA) is one of the best applications of spread spectrum system in

    this corporate world. CDMA mainly uses DSSS; for simplicity sake it

    is explained clearly in the project for single user. Bluetooth is the

    major application for Frequency Hopping Spread spectrum

    technique. A DSSS transceiver model is developed in the project.

    Some basic concepts that are very important for these technologies

    are also discussed in succeeding sections.

    2. SPREAD SPECTRUM AND ITS TECHNIQUES

    The general model of Spread spectrum Technique is shown in Figure

    1. It shows that the data signal to be transmitted is multiplied by

    the spreading code (This is the general case and it can be any kind

    of sequence.). Then the spread signal is transmitted. The receiving

    side acquires the transmitted signal, which is then multiplied by a

    spreading code again, so that the original signal is recovered. It can

    be observed that the desired signal gets multiplied twice but the

    interference gets multiplied only once, which is a huge advantage

    and will reduce the interference. (Simon, et al. 1994)

    Figure 1: Basic model of spread spectrum technique (Simon, et al.

    1994).

    The main property of the spreading signal is the bandwidth

    expansion factor (Be=Width/Datarate), which is much greater than

    unity, which means the redundancy involved in the spread signal

    can easily overcome the interference. The basic block diagram

    referenced in the project is shown in Figure 2.

    communication System (Proakis 2000).

    The project is designed from above basic model using

    MATLAB/Simulink. In the above block diagram the digital signal is

    inserted at the transmitter end and received at the receiver end

    after proper manipulation. During this transmission the signal goes

    through a modulator and a demodulator for mixing with patterns

    created by pseudorandom number (PN) generators. Synchronization

    of the PN-generators is important for the receiver side to

    demodulate. The PN-generator is used along with a Phase Shift

    Keying (PSK) modulator and demodulator to change the phase of

    the signal.

    The above discussion applies only for a single user as mentioned

    above due to the complexities associated with designing a system

    for multiple users. The encoding and decoding techniques are same

    for both. They can be distinguished from each other by

    superimposing a differential pseudorandom pattern called a code for

    the transmitted signal. (Simon, et al. 1994)

    Reducing the transmitted power of the spread signal along its whole

    bandwidth can also hide the signal. This type of signal is called a

    Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) signal. Superimposing a

    pseudorandom code, which is the kind of technique that has been

    used in the project, attains the privacy of the message. (Ziemer and

    Peterson 1985)

    This concludes the discussion of different ways of transmitting a

    signal. The next part explains the particular simulation of a DSSS

    system.

    3. DIRECT SEQUENCE SPREAD SPECTRUM (DSSS)

    This is the spreading technique that is mainly used in the CDMA

    transmission system. With DSSS, multiple bits in the transmitted

    signal represent each bit in the original signal, using a spreading

    code .The spreading code spreads the signal across a wide

    frequency band in direct proportion to the number of bits used.

    Therefore, a ten-bit spreading code spreads the signal across a

    frequency band that is ten times greater than a one-bit spreading

    code. When the signal spreads ten times greater, the energy will

    vary. Normalized gain is used in the simulations to keep the energy

    constant. (Stallings 2004) More information on how a signal is

    transmitted and received is clearly explained in Sections 4 through 7

    below.

    The DSSS model includes these major components:

    1. Transmitter

    2. Receiver

    3. Channel

    4. DSSS TRANSMITTER

    Figure 3 shows the Simulink transmitter design. The input to the

    transmitter is given from the random integer generator. This random

    integer sequence simulates information generated by a user. The

    output from the random integer generator is converted to bipolar

    waveform.

    Figure 3: Simulink transmitter design.

    As the signal needs to be spread, a PN sequence generator is used,

    which generates a random binary sequence. The output from the PN

  • 7/28/2019 Demonstration of Spread Spectrum Communication through Mathematical Simulation

    12/52

    Karthik-12

    sequence generator is also converted to a bipolar waveform from

    the unipolar waveform. Now both the information sequence and the

    PN-sequence are multiplied, resulting in the spreader signal. The

    next stage is modulation where the spread signal is modulated. An

    M-ary Phase Shift Keying (M-PSK) modulator is used and the

    parameters are set in such a way that it works as a Binary Phase

    Shift Keying (BPSK) Modulator. The output of a BPSK modulator is a

    sine wave where it changes its phase by 180 degrees. Now the

    information is ready for transmission but the energy when spread

    will be less than the original signal, so normalized gain is used to

    restore the energy of the signal. The output from different blocks is

    given to the scope, where the output is plotted. The snapshots of

    these results are captured at the same time and are shown in the

    following sections.

    4.1. Transmitter Scope Results

    Figure 4 below shows the outputs from all the blocks on the

    transmitter side. The result is discussed in detail in the next section

    which explains each block separately.

    5. TRANSMITTER COMPONENTS AND RESULTS

    This section discusses the transmitter blocks completely with the

    scope results after each block.

    5.1. Random Integer Generator

    The random integer generator uniformly distributes random integers

    in the range (0, M-1), where M is the number of the array.

    Assuming the M value is 2, the integers range is (0,1). The random

    integer generator is conventional to use as a source.

    The following parameters are to be defined for this block and are

    selected randomly to get the desired output waveform:

    1) M-array number.

    2) Initial seed: Vector length seed determines length of output

    vector and by default it is set to 37

    3) Sample time is chosen as .01sec

    4) Samples per frame

    These are parameters used for the random integer generator; the

    parameter block is pasted from MATLAB/Simulink.

    5.2. Unipolar to Bipolar

    The Unipolar to Bipolar Converter block maps the unipolar input

    signal to a bipolar output signal. If the input consists of integers

    between 0 and M-1, where M is the M-ary number parameter, then

    the output consists of integers between -(M-1) and M-1. If M is

    even, then the output is odd. For an example if the input is [0; 1; 2;

    3], the M-ary number parameter is 4, and the Polarity parameter is

    Positive, then the output is [-3; -1; 1; 3]. Changing the Polarity

    parameter to Negative changes the output to [3; 1; -1; -3]. Figure

    7 shows the parameter settings for the unipolar to bipolar converter.

    input is from 0 to M-1 integers, then the output consists of integers

    (M-1) and (M-1).

    5.3. PN-Sequence Generator

    A pseudo noise (PN) generator creates a pseudo random sequence

    to simulate a noise signal. The generated PN sequence is not

    completely random, but the PN code is a deterministic periodic

    signal that is known to both the transmitter and receiver. (A random

    signal cannot be predicted, but its future can be determined

    statistically.) PN is called so because its statistical properties are

    the same as sampled white noise (Sklar 2001).

    The DSSS is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink software and the

    block used is a PN-sequence generator. It uses a sequence of shift

    registers to generate the sequence as shown in the Figure 9. In

    Figure 9, the adder performs the modulo 2 addition. All the registers

    that are represented by square boxes get updated every time form

    the earlier one.

    The generation polynomial can be represented as

    In MATLAB/Simulink this can be represented in two ways. The first

    is like a vector that lists the coefficients of the polynomial; second

    one is like a vector containing the exponents of Z in descending

    order of power. The parameters are set and discussed in Figure 10.

    5.4. Spreader

    The spreader is nothing but a multiplier. There are three input

    variables in the parameters block shown in Figure 13. The number

    of inputs determines how many inputs should be multiplied and also

    the multiplication is element wise. By default the sample time is -1.

    The spreader multiplies the PN sequence times the data signal that

    represents the user signal (voice or data). Figure 14 shows an

    example of the spreader output signal.

    5.5. Bipolar to Unipolar Converter

    Since certain inputs to certain blocks can not be bipolar, this

    converter changes from bipolar to unipolar. A typical configuration

    is shown in Figure 15.

    Figure 15: Parameters of Bipolar to Unipolar Converter

    5.6. Band Pass Shift Keying Modulator

    Modulation is the process of transforming digital symbols into

    waveforms, which can be sent through specific channels. (Sklar

    2001)

    In this case a desired information signal modulates a sinusoidal

    signal called a carrier wave. Since this spread spectrum

    communication project is using it fortelecommunication purposes,

  • 7/28/2019 Demonstration of Spread Spectrum Communication through Mathematical Simulation

    25/52

    Karthik-25

    the carrier is converted to an electro magnetic signal that can be

    transmitted by an antenna. To increase the frequency so that a

    smaller antenna can be used, a modulator combines the signal with

    a carrier.

    Other advantages of band pass modulation are multiplexing signals

    and minimizing interference. The next section explains digital

    modulation as implemented in the project.

    An information signal is converted into a sinusoidal wave and a

    duration T is referred as digital symbol. Any signal can be varied by

    three factors: amplitude, frequency and phase. In Pass Band, all

    three factors can be varied in accordance with the information to be

    transmitted. (Sklar 2001)

    There are two types of digital modulation techniques, coherent

    detection and non-coherent detection. If the receiver utilizes the

  • 7/28/2019 Demonstration of Spread Spectrum Communication through Mathematical Simulation

    26/52

    Karthik-26

    carrier properties such as the phase, then it is called coherent

    detection. During non-coherent detection, the receiving side doesnt

    need the carrier. This DSSS simulation uses coherent detection.

    In ideal coherent detection there are prototypes available at the

    receiver side. These waveforms attempt to duplicate the transmitted

    signal in every aspect. During detection, the receiver multiplies and

    integrates (correlates) the incoming signal.( Sklar 2001)

    In this project Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) is used, where the

    signal shifts the phase of the waveform. There are two states of

    change either from 0 to 180 or vice versa.Figure 16 shows how the

    waveform varies.

    27/52

    Karthik-27

    Figure 16: Figure showing the phase changes. (Stallings 2004)

    If the modulating signal has zeros and ones, then there will be a

    change in a signals phase during its transmission. This kind of

    signal can be represented as vectors on a polar plot. While changing

    the complex part to real and imaginary parts in an M-array, the

    signal phase relates to m-1 sets. Few blocks have been changed in

    the project to represent this kind of signal. These types of signals

    are called antipodal signals. The parameter settings of the Binary

    PSK modulator are shown in Figure 17 and are explained in order..

    Karthik-28

    Figure 17: Parameters of M-ary Phase Shift Keying modulator.

    Since the project uses BPSK modulation, M=2. The input type and

    constellation parameters are bits and as B stands for binary, the

    third parameter is binary. A symbol period of 1/800 has been

    selected, resulting in the carrier frequency 2 * Pi * F, which is

    approximately 8000. And the final one is the output sample time

    which is 1/400,000.

    Figure 19 shows the theoretical result and it is exactly same as

    Figure 18 from the simulation.

    5.7. Normalized Gain

    The input bits are spread after passing through the spreader, but

    the total energy must remain unchanged. Supposing three bits of

    original input are converted to six bits after spreading. Then the

    energy in six bits after spreading must be equal to the energy of

    three bits in the original message. To keep the energy constant,

    normalizing gain is used.

    Figure 20 shows a typical normalized gain setting block from

    MATLAB/Simulink.

    6. AWGN CHANNEL COMPONENTS

    This simulation models real world conditions by the linear addition of

    white noise with constant spectral density and Gaussian distribution

    of amplitude. This simulation channel produces similar results to

    those when a real signal comes across thermal noise, short noise

    and black body radiation. After the signal is transmitted in the

    simulation, it is sent to an AWGN channel that acts like a noisy

  • 7/28/2019 Demonstration of Spread Spectrum Communication through Mathematical Simulation

    32/52

    Karthik-32

    channel. The output from AWGN channel is the information signal

    mixed with noise.

    Figure 21: Parameters of AWGN channel

    Figure 21 shows the settings for the AWGN channel. Figure 22

    shows the signal after it is passed through the addition of noise by

    the AWGN channel.

    7. DSSS RECEIVER

    Figure 23: Receiver Side Block Diagram

    The receiver (whose block diagram is shown in Figure 23) has the

    task of recovering the original transmitted signal. First, the noisy

    signal is demodulated and changed to a bipolar signal. The signal is

    then unbundled by combining it with the PN sequence. When both

    the signals are multiplied, the original signal is obtained. Then the

  • 7/28/2019 Demonstration of Spread Spectrum Communication through Mathematical Simulation

    35/52

    Karthik-35

    signal is sent to the integrate and dump function, which integrates

    the input signal in discrete time and sees that it is between the

    absolute value of K-integers. The result is sent to dump and resets

    itself for next input. The signal is then sent to a zero order hold to

    restore the signal properties. At last the signal is again sent to

    bipolar to unipolar converter and the output is plotted on the scope.

    7.1 Receiver scope results

    Figure 24 shows simulated signals at various points in the receiver.

    The DSSS function is especially highlighted by comparing the first

    (AWGN channel) and last (Received Signal).

    8. RECEIVER COMPONENTS AND RESULTS

    This section discusses all of the receiver components and shows the

    oscilloscope traces of all output signals after each component.

    8.1. M-ary PSK Demodulator

    The receiving signal is fed directly into a demodulator where it is

    demodulated with the same parameters as that of the modulator. The

    parameters that are used are shown in Figure 25. Figure 26 shows

    that the demodulation is finished while Figure 27 shows the result

    after synchronization.

    8.2. Despreader

    The despreader is similar to the spreader. In this case the PN

    sequence is multiplied by the incoming signal, so that the signal is

    decoded completely. Similarly the despreader parameters are

    shown in Figure 28. The resulting waveform is shown in Figure 29.

    8.3. Tapped Delay

    Before it is fed to the error rate calculator, the signal is delayed. The

    Tapped Delay block delays its input by the specified number of

    sample periods, and outputs the same signal with this constant

    delay.

    This block provides a mechanism for discretizing a signal in time, or

    resampling the signal at a different rate. The time samples specify

    the time between samples with the Sample time parameter. A

    value of -1 instructs the block to inherit the number of delays by

    backpropagation. Each delay is equivalent to the z-1 discrete-time

    operator, which is represented by the Unit Delay block.

    The Tapped Delay function block (shown in Figure 30) accepts one

    scalar input and generates an output for each delay. The input must

    be a scalar. Oldest orders the output. So for error rate calculation,

    prior to comparison, the input signal is delayed for 1 sample time.

    Figure 30: Parameters of Tapped Delay.

    8.4. Integrate and Dump

    This block integrates the input signal in discrete time and sees that

    it is between the absolute value of K-integers. As it resets itself after

    certain time, the signal integrates and sends the result to the output

    port and clears the internal state for the next time step. Figure 31

    shows the parameters of the Integrate and Dump function block.

    Figure 32 shows the Integrate and Dump output and demonstrates

    that it integrates the despreaded signal.

    The last section to be discussed is the Error Corrector, where the

    error is corrected in order to get back the original signal. In Figure

    33 are two scope displays taken before and after error correction. It

    is easily seen that the received signal is not identical to the

    transmitted signal. The reason is that the signal is passed through a

    error rate calculator which is set to the incorrect parameters shown

    in Figure 34. The appropriate correction is revealed in Section 9

    below.

    before error correction.

    9. COMPLETE DSSS SYSTEMThis section discusses in detail the complete DSSS transceiver

    designed with the basic blocks. This section summarizes all topics

    discussed in the project. BPSK is implemented as the spreading

    modulation technique. An ideal BPSK modulation results in

    instantaneous phase change of the carrier by 1800.These results

    illustrate why the BPSK modulator falls under the coherent systems

    category. Figure 35 is the comprehensive block diagram of the

    complete DSSS transmitter/receiver link. Resulting transmitted and

    received signals created by the simulator are shown in Figure 36.

    Figure 35: DSSS Simulink Block Diagram

    Figure 36 displays the result that the transmitted signal and the

    received signal are identical. This indicates that the signal has been

    successfully communicated using DSSS technology.

    10. CONCLUSION

    This project provides a tool for understanding spread spectrum

    technology and its implementation. A DSSS transceiver is designed

    and demonstrated via simulation using a tool called

    MATLAB/Simulink. Simulation components used include a basic

    BPSK modulator along with a PN generator. Internal signals within

    the simulated transmitter and receiver are captured to reveal the

    DSSS operation. This project enables convenient exploration of

    spread spectrum. The project could also be useful in research by

    permitting observation of the results when DSSS parameters and

    configurations are changed.
